Benefits of technology

The present system and method allow for detection of any decrease in the performance of an aircraft engine or other transport vehicle engines. This detection triggers automated changes to the operation of separate systems in the aircraft. For example, the system may limit the electricity consumed by non-essential electronics within the interior of the aircraft to conserve energy. Overall, this system helps to optimize the performance and efficiency of the aircraft's engines and systems.

Problems solved by technology

For example, in response to reduced engine performance, the controller may limit the electricity consumed by non-essential electronics within the interior cabin of the aircraft.

Abstract

A system and method for optimizing performance of an aircraft or boat through detection and trending of engine deterioration based on the performance of the vehicle's gas turbine. The system and method detects declines in engine power due to either of in-transit events or over the extended lifetime of the engine, the declines being due to routine engine part aging or an event. As engine power gradually or suddenly deteriorates, the system and method lowers a maximum operating line which defines the safe limits for peak engine power consumption during flight. For in-transit events, the system and method detects when actual power consumption is approaching the current maximum operating line. The controller may then automate changes to operations of entirely separate aircraft systems, such as rebalancing electrical energy consumption by various non-engine elements of the aircraft.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to optimization of aircraft performance. The present invention further relates to optimization of multiple features of aircraft performance responsive to monitoring of aircraft engine performance.BACKGROUND[0002]On transport vehicles, including but not limited to airplanes, it is generally known to have sensors and associated electronic processing systems which monitor various component units of the vehicle, and which further modify operating performance of a component unit in response to the monitoring. For example, on an aircraft, electronic systems will monitor performance parameters of a jet engine, and will further modify and sometimes limit engine operations (such as limiting engine speed) for reasons of operational efficiency and vehicular safety.[0003]Aircraft are complex systems, and the performance and operations of different units (such as engines, wings, interior electronics) can have interactive and synergistic effects....
